To me, I don't think it matters if there are some people that hate it. Just the fact that Honda is willing to make this bike (and the other new ones for 2013) is a big step in the right direction.
I'm really looking forward to trying out this and the 1100 next summer.

Looks like Victory to me. Not sure I see the point of this one...but ok.

I agree, it has a kind of edgyness to it like a Victory.

I too, think it needs a name. Honda's sometimes have both designation codes and names, so it wouldn't be unprecidented. The VFR1000 is called Interceptor, RVT1000 is called RC51 (2 designation codes? :huh)...

How about "Blackwing"?...or..."Blackhawk"? I dunno, just throwing out possibilities.
